Staff AI Software Engineer

Overview

Lead the architecture, development and end-to-end lifecycle of AI Agents and the MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and infrastructure that power them, balancing system strategy with hands-on execution.

What you'll do

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (product, design, operations, infrastructure) to build AI-native application experiences.
• Build AI Agents, MCP Servers and Tools, and integrate LLM / generative AI capabilities into products, including structured prompting, memory management and context management.
• Implement retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) patterns (e.g., embeddings + retrieval) and contribute to context-aware and personalized user experiences.
• Drive end-to-end execution of medium-to-large features with independence, and contribute to technical direction within the team.
• Partner with internal teams and external contractors to lead technical reviews, integrations and delivery execution.
• Deliver using Coding Agents, establish testing approaches for prompts and model performance, and implement observability for AI features.
• Mentor engineers and guide contractors and partners.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering, or a related technical field.
• 6+ years of experience using at least one general purpose programming language (Python [preferred], Java, or Go).
• Front-end experience with JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Proven track record shipping production applications that incorporate LLMs, MCPs or AI services at scale.
• Demonstrated experience leading technical teams and providing guidance to external contractors or vendors.
• Strong experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Advanced containerization experience (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience with technical oversight, code review processes, and quality assurance methodologies.

Nice to have

• Experience in cloud software development, including architecture design, technical leadership, and system optimization.
• Experience with Strands, ADK or agent development frameworks.
• Experience with multiple LLM providers and advanced AI orchestration frameworks (e.g. Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, LangChain).
• Experience with modern front-end frameworks (React, Vue, or Angular) and advanced state management.
• Experience with vector databases (e.g. pgvector) and embedding model optimization.
• Experience with enterprise RAG architectures, semantic search optimization, and conversation memory management at scale.
• Experience building and scaling AI-powered features for 100k+ users.
